Advanced modular robotic platform

Page last modified

April 11 2024

HUNTER is a modular remote access, magnetic adhesion crawler, designed for cost-effective inspection of large ferromagnetic structures such as storage tanks, pressure vessels, large diameter pipes and ship hulls. With a minimised need for rope access and scaffolding, reducing inspection time and potential risks associated with manual inspections.

Pros & Limitations

Deployed and controlled by a single operator effectively with ease

Quick configurations between corrosion mapping, B-scan and visual inspection

Multi-probe handling capability

Full technical support through-out the integrity management program

Smooth and precise movement over inspection surfaces guarantees optimal data collection

Data analysis achieved through Technology Design's TDScan software with internal reports generation, full cursor analysis and 8-bit data collection

The curvature of surface can be a limiting factor, as Hunter was designed with the inspection of large Above Ground Storage Tanks in mind
